1. I guess I'm an old-fashioned dreamer,
A
walking
the street on my own,
D G D
out
of date, like the old-fashioned steamer,
A D
no
longer feeling at home.

For now romance has gone, time
races on, but I still remember
D A D

the
town, the girls, the bar full of sailors,
D A D
and
the old nickelodeon sound.

The old cobblestone street
echoes of feet like distant reminders,

2. There used to be all kinds of places,
A
where
people like me used to go,
D G D
full
of rough but friendly old faces,
A D
looking
for someone to know.

But now, they only belong in
old films or songs almost forgotten,
D A D G
like
the town, the girls, the bar full of sailors,
D A D
and
the old nickelodeon sound.
